Workshop « Towards a Belgian architecture for PCD » 26/04/2012
PCD: The challenge? Make sures the bumper cars ride towards development!
Institutions running for politics? • PCD is a political matter • PCD is about bringing development objectives in the core of external policy • Institutions should be effective in doing just that!
PCD in Belgium: Just words? • OECD/DAC ‘Peer Reviews’ (2010): • No clear political commitment • Very little progress on institutional frameworks and tools • Little investment in/usage of existing analytic capacity for assessing impact/monitoring (lack of) progress
PCD in Belgium: Time is Now! • New Government • Clear statement Di Rupo I • Repeated and clarified by Magnette New Deal = Real Deal?
Today = important step • To find common vision/strategy for ‘PCD architecture in Belgium’ • Stake-holders’ Meeting – May 8th • ‘New’ law for international cooperation • …
That’s why, we … • … need a common definition of PCD • … need to understand the ‘politics’ of PCD • … look at other national cases • … need a common vision on institutional mechanisms and tools to ensure PCD • … need a common strategy to make this happen
